Cottage Cheese Pizza Dip
Cooking time is with using the air fryer. If you bake in the oven, it will need to make for a little longer.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 (16 oz). container cottage cheese* drain the excess water on the top
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce + more if desired
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese** split
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- pepperoni
- Momofuku chili crunch hot honey optional but highly recommend
- serve with tortilla chips or pita chips
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees***. Using a small mixing bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, marinara sauce, half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder and the Italian seasoning.
- Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly in your baking dish. Top with the rest of the cheese and add some pepperoni on top. Air fry for 6 to 7 minutes. Longer if you want more browned cheese on top.
- Remove from the air fryer. Drizzle with a little Momofuku chili crunch hot honey and serve! Enjoy while hot.
Notes
*If your cottage cheese is too watery or you don't like the texture, try looking for Good Culture Organic Double cream classic cottage cheese. Alternatively, you can blend or pulse up the cottage cheese mixture in a mini chopper or food processor to help with the texture.
**You can also do a mozzarella and parmesan cheese blend if desired. I just added some mozzarella cheese on the top but if a cheesier dip is desired, mix some of the mozzarella into the cottage cheese mixture and add some on top as well.
***If wanting to use your oven, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
